Coach house and stables, now used as office and store. Circa late C18. Flemish bond brick front with granite plinth, rusticated quoins and jambstones, piers, arch stones, band and cornices, otherwise stone rubble. Hipped Delabole dry slate roofs with cross roof terminating with pediment to front. One brick chimney over cross wall to right (north). Plan of 3 bay central coach house with accommodation over flanked by two 3-bay stable blocks. Circa early C19 lean-to at rear of coach house and later lean-tos at either end. Palladian style. 2 storey coach house with lower stables left and right originally with fodder storage partly in roof space; all over basement approached from lower ground at rear. Symmetrical 3:3:3 bay east front. Central pedimented coach house, broken forward, has 3 eleptical arched openings with projecting keys to ground floor, mid floor band, a 6-pane hornless sash to small granite keyed brick arched opening over each door; all surmounted by pediment with moulded granite cornice and blind oval niche to middle of tympanum. Flanking stables each have central doorway, and a sash to each side. The doorways have rusticated Gibbs surrounds; overlight with glazing bars to left-hand doorway and plain overlight with original 6-panel door to right-hand doorway. To left of this doorway is an original 24-pane hornless sash. 12-pane hornless sash to right is later and those to left-hand stables are much later. Shallow brick arches over windows have granite keystone. This is a fine C18 coachhouse and stable range which in spite of the conversion has a virtually intact exterior.
